By the way JW I always like the pictures under your name.  I liked the rasta hat - I wanted to borrow it   The dog (I think that is what it was) was hilarious!

That's me.  Taken at my daughters high school graduation party, summer 07.  I'm putting it pack.  Hat came from a costume shop 2006.

The jiffy stand is the side stand on the bike.  First I tried leveling the bike by using a 2 X 4 under that, but it tipped too easily.  Worked ok, but did not want to risk knocking the bike over.

Now I use one of these from Harbor Freight:



$59 on sale.  I park the bikes on these in the garage.

Word of caution:  Harbor Freight makes a lower cost self closing wheel chock for $39.95.  Most of these are silver in color. If you have a heavy touring bike - STAY AWAY from these!  Had the SEULTRA on one in the garage & it bent.  Bike did not fall all the way over but it still hit the wife's car.  Took it back & swapped for the version pictured here.  Much sturdier.

Thanks for the info Bro!  I almost bought a center stand at HD for $329 yesterday but just couldn't really decide when I would use it.  I have enough room in my garage to have the bike on the kickstand.  I have a bike jack but it is kinda a hassle to jack the bike up everytime I would want to change the tourpak.  This would also make it much easier and simplier to clean the bike and I LIKE the price it's not even a Hundred Dollar - HD -
